Destroying Flat Earth Without Using Science - Part 3: Airplanes

how can the earth be flat if my life is continually going downhill

As a South African, I'm just a tad bit surprised to learn that where I live doesnt exist

My flat Earth friend first said there are really no flights between Africa and Australia but he changed that to "they have them but the passengers are all put to sleep and are awakened upon arrival, never knowing how long it really took." That's even more ludicrous than the first excuse.

POV: you're looking at the newest comments to find more flat earthers to laugh at

"We have a lot of members AROUND the GLOBE." - Flat Earth Founder

man this guy is harsh and I appreciate it lol

As a Brazilian I can confidently confirm that all of the southern hemisphere is indeed located on mars

Flat Earthers be like: “No! You’re wrong!” Me: “Why?” Flat Earthers: “Idk you just are!”

As an Australian I can confirm the southern hemisphere actually doesn't exist

Dear Dave. I just finished watching the video where you trash a flat earth bald guy. Then realized, by googling your name, that you are the same dave that refreshes my physics back from college, gives me useful tips to address my own teaching and reminds me why I was trapped by the wonder of science. I usually turn to your channel when the traffic on Mexico City wants to drawn me, and you give a good amount of oxygen to the situation. On behalf of my students, my kids and miself, thank you for your kind and serious dedication to explain things. You make the world a better place.

Also, the idea that an airplane should dip its nose to go down is the most idiotic ever. Have they even seen an airplane landing in their entire life? :D

I joined the flat earth forum and I saw someone bringing this argument: one actually replied "they drug you to distort your perception of time"

Isn’t it crazy how the world actually works. The fact people exist who believe the world is flat is mind blowing

The great circle argument also holds for flights in the Northern Hemisphere. On my very first transatlantic flight from New York to London, the pilot announced that we were flying over Scotland at the time and were about to start our descent to London. Everyone knows that Scotland is way north of London. I wondered why we didn’t just fly due east from N. America to London. A few years later, I began a career as an airline steward for Pan Am. They explained about the great circle routes in our training. Because of the curvature of the Earth, the distance is shorter to fly in an arc to a lower latitude, lessening the distance.

Please, Dave, go to a flat Earth conference and ask them questions they can’t answer! I bet we would all love to see that 😁

As someone who lives in the southern hemisphere, it is quite a shock to learn that I don't exist 😱

Since I know this information already and I’m not a flathead, it gave me the opportunity to notice your very cool Led Zeppelin picture on your wall. Nice!!

A flat earther just told me gravity doesn’t exist

Winning an argument against a genius is hard, but winning an argument against an ignorant is impossible. Bees don't waste their time at explaining to flies that honey is better than sh*t.
